Chapter 239: Any Sign Is a Good Sign

The reporters who stared wide-eyed in the media booth and planned to pick on Tulalang were completely disappointed after thirty minutes of the game.

In these 30 minutes of the game, Tulalan performed well, whether it was offensive pass scheduling or defense.

What makes him different from the other defensive midfielders is that while he is tough on defense, he also performs well on the offensive end. He's truly versatile and balanced offensively and defensively.

Albelda and Baraja focused on defense, while Cambiasso and Deco focused on offense.

If the numerical ratio is used to express their offensive and defensive emphasis, the defensive-attack ratio of Albelda and Baraja should be 7:3, while Deco's is 3:7, and Cambiasso can reach 4:6. Even if the offense and defense are balanced.

Tulalang is 5:5.

True offensive and defensive balance.

Although it is impossible for Tulalang to play the main force in his own team, having such a player with a balanced offense and defense is still of great help to the team.

Because no matter whether you need to attack or defend, Tulalang has a position.

This is much better than the kind of players who only specialize in defense, or only specialize in offense.

In the 30th minute, Toulalang scored a goal with a long shot.

Such an outstanding performance made those in the media audience who planned to black him speechless.

After the goal, Tulalang looked very excited, because he has never been a player who is good at scoring.

Although his passing organization and scheduling are good, he is not good at long shots.

Unexpectedly, in the second official game in Valencia, I scored a goal myself!

Even he himself didn't expect such a performance!

So he was thrilled.

Starting your new team career with a goal...it couldn't be better!

After the goal, Tulalang was quickly surrounded by his teammates. Although everyone could not speak the language well, they could feel their kindness.

※※※

Toulalan's goal gave Valencia a 1-0 lead at home,

The total score was tied at 2:3, and now there is only one goal away.

As long as Valencia score another goal, they will take the lead on away goals.

Although Chang Sheng doesn't care about the Super Bowl, if someone wants to hit him in the face with the Super Bowl, then he can't let them get what they want.

Therefore, in this game, Chang Sheng is very important.

It is required that the whole team must win Mallorca. Win the Super Bowl.

In the next game, Valencia hit Mallorca's defense again and again.

And scored the second goal in the 67th minute.

Now the situation is completely reversed.

It was Mallorca's turn to panic.

And Valencia began to recycle, using continuous passing to lead Mallorca's nose.

In order to grab the ball, Mallorca has to keep running and pressing. This is physically exhausting. They run passively. And it may not be useful to run away. Many times they have just run up, Valencia will pass the ball away, let them run for nothing.

After so many times, the Mallorca players couldn't run anymore. What is more terrifying than physical exhaustion is the exhaustion of fighting spirit.

Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't grab the ball, so why grab it?

So then the Valencia players started to pass back and forth, and the Mallorca players simply stopped grabbing and guarded their own 30-meter zone. If Valencia does not attack, they will never go out.

The game suddenly became a little boring.

But Changsheng doesn't care if it's boring or not, as long as it can win.

So Cruyff was actually right and wrong.

To be correct means that Chang Sheng is currently playing the most advanced football, but it is somewhat utilitarian.

What I said is wrong is that Chang Sheng is definitely not as simple as "some" utilitarian, he is very utilitarian in his bones.

He chose Barcelona's tactics just because this set of tactics proved that he can win, and it is a sure win.

Mallorca failed to break through Valencia's ball-holding defense until the end. In the last ten minutes, although they seemed to press out to attack. But they were all overwhelmed by Valencia's ball possession speed.

In this way, Valencia defeated Mallorca 2:0 at home, with a total score of 3:3. Valencia had an away goal, so they won the Super Cup with the advantage of away goals.

At the press conference after the awards ceremony. Chang Sheng scoffed at the reporters who thought Valencia would be dragged down by Toulalang.

"I remind you again, don't make any judgments about my players. I don't accept any criticism of my players. If you want to say something, you can say something nice. You can praise them, flatter them. But I just don't allow it. You criticize them. Criticize their things. It's not your turn to do it!"

He was unreasonable, but facing his unreasonableness, the reporters had nothing to do.

※※※

Although Changsheng didn't pay much attention to the Spanish Super Cup, Valencia still won the championship and won it for two consecutive years.

While defending the league title, they also defended the Spanish Super Cup.

After this game, the criticisms about Tulalang in the media could no longer be seen, and some only praised Tulalang. Of course, it doesn't mean that all the media are overwhelmed by Chang Sheng's arrogance. The media that criticized Tulalang before are now silent, while the media in Valencia are full of praise for Tulalang.

"...We have seen this scene a long time ago - a player came to Valencia, then he was questioned, and then the questioner was beaten in the face. So the Valencia fans and the media are actually very calm , A poor performance in one game can't explain anything. Sure enough, in the second Super Cup game, Tulalang proved to us why he can be valued by Changsheng. This is a victory for Tulalang, but also Winning victories."

This is the "Province", the mouthpiece of Valencia, the mouthpiece of the ever-victorious. No matter what happens, they will cheer for Chang Sheng.

But so far, Chang Sheng has not let them say anything against their will. Their praises are all from the bottom of their hearts. Just because Chang Sheng has brought so many championships to Valencia, he is enough to become one of the most successful head coaches in the history of the Valencia club.

And his contribution to Valencia is not just as simple as the championship.

The tactics he implemented in Valencia made Valencia the focus of the world's attention. Everyone was praising Valencia's football, and many neutral fans were obsessed with Valencia's flowing football.

This has greatly increased Valencia's worldwide prestige.

They really think that Chang Sheng is an excellent head coach. In order to prevent such an excellent head coach from being harmed by the public opinion environment, they consciously maintain Chang Sheng's majesty and authority. Any voice that dares to question Chang Sheng will be punished. I went to the "Provincial Daily" to beat my colleagues up and down.

When they do this, they will not feel that they have said something that violates their professional ethics, nor will they feel that they are ingratiating Chang Sheng and succumbing to Chang Sheng's hegemony.

Defending Chang Sheng and cheering for Chang Sheng, they have a clear conscience and are worthy of their professional ethics and personal conscience.

After the European Super Cup, Chang Sheng went to Monaco with the team general manager Pitaqi the next day.

This time it is still to participate in the new season Champions League group draw ceremony.

Valencia, which has won the league title for two consecutive seasons, has received extremely high attention throughout Europe, coupled with their outstanding performance in the Champions League last season, this makes Chang Sheng, the helm of Valencia, very prepared. By the attention.

It's completely different from his first UEFA Cup draw and slightly different from his first UEFA Champions League draw last year.

This time Chang Sheng is already a star.

From the moment he appeared on the red carpet, the cameras of the reporters were on him, and some reporters rushed up immediately and surrounded him.

Valencia successfully defended the league title last season and set a record of 65 consecutive unbeaten league games.

Leading the team to participate in the Champions League for the first time, they reached the quarter-finals, and finally lost to the later Champions League champion Milan.

This summer, he bought Ronaldinho again, reflecting his ambition.

Some media believe that the teams that are grouped with Valencia may not have a better life.

This is the first season in which the two group matches of the Champions League have been canceled. Everyone wants to see what Valencia can do under the new competition system.

Last time the reporters wanted to interview Chang Sheng, but Chang Sheng refused.

But this time nothing like that happened.

Chang Sheng stopped and accepted interviews from reporters.

He seemed very patient and in a good mood, occasionally smiling and joking with familiar reporters such as Torla.

A typical image of a young, promising, confident and proud head coach.

A reporter asked him which teams he hoped to be in a group with. Chang Sheng joked: "If possible, I hope to be in a group with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​so we will be sure to win!"

The Spanish reporters all knew why he said that, while the reporters from other countries sighed in their hearts, the Valencia head coach has such a big tone...

They didn't pay much attention to losing La Liga, so they naturally didn't understand why Chang Sheng said that.

After jokingly dismissing Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Chang Sheng said seriously: "I don't predict the group grouping, because it doesn't matter. No matter who the opponent is, we have confidence. Because we are Valencia. If you don't understand this sentence What do you mean, it doesn't matter, we have a whole season to let everyone know! To me, any sign is ... a good sign."

When he turned to leave, this time he was not in a hurry to call him arrogant again.

In football, there are many arrogant people, but as long as you have the strength, you can win victories and championships, then you are qualified to be arrogant.

For these reporters, Chang Sheng has initially possessed such qualifications.

So it's not a big deal for him to speak a little arrogantly.

Let's look at his performance in the Champions League.
